Fixes #83

The Windows installer now creates the shared HKCU\…\Run key only when it is absent. It continues to overwrite only Token Meter’s own startup value on reinstall.

The Windows install workflow now seeds an unrelated startup entry and verifies its data and registry type survive install, reinstall, update, and uninstall.

Validation:

  • python3 scripts/run-tests: 2,601 tests; 21 skipped
  • python3 -m unittest tests.contracts.test_windows_packaging -v: 38 tests; 3 Windows-native skips on macOS
  • git diff --check

The added Windows lifecycle checks will run on the pull request.
